  • Date nights with this lady still going strong since 1990! ❤️
  • Y’all. I am completely undone. Simon Jens, the Lord has big things in store for you, little one. This is one happy G-Pop. 😭
  • Happy Mother’s Day to this lady who forever has my heart! Love you @nyckisorensen
  • Welp, this is it. This is all I captured from tonight’s Vision 2023 service at TWMC. The Spirit started stirring and I never picked the phone back up. Which, I guess, is a good thing. 😃⁣
⁣
It’s hard to put into words what I saw happening tonight. It was beautiful. It was the “thin space”, Heaven and earth colliding together and the Kingdom breaking through. It was worship in Word, song and prayer. It was intergenerational AND multicultural, Revelation 7:9-10, all in one beautiful space and room. It was joy-filled, infused with hope, and there was a tangible anticipation of what the Spirit was going to say and do next. ⁣
⁣
IT-WAS-CHURCH! ⁣
⁣
I’ve never been more excited for a people called Methodists and I’ve never been more expectant for all the Spirit has in store. ⁣
⁣
👉🏼 “Then Jesus came to them and said, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me, therefore, Go.’” (Matt. 28:18-19)⁣
⁣
A new chapter awaits. Let’s start writing. To God be the glory!
  • I’m THRILLED to announce that, on April 24, we became G R A N D P A R E N T S! Welcome into the world, Simon Jens Sorensen! God has big things in store for you, little one. G-Pop can’t WAIT to see you! Love you, Nicholas and Kristin!
  • Friends, day seven in Greece was a rest day and we took it! The day started with an early wake up and departure to board our boat for the final four days of the trip. Made it to Mykonos Island this evening for an off boat excursion and now it is off to bed for tomorrow’s big day: a visit to the ancient city of Ephesus and and afternoon trip to Patmos. More to post tomorrow!
  • Posting one of my favorite pictures from yesterday. This is @nyckisorensen standing on the Via Ingnatia, the ancient Roman road in Philippi, at the place where Paul would have baptized Lydia, the first Christian convert in the city of Philippi. ⁣
⁣
Such a pretty and peaceful place! Loved this moment!
  • Can’t believe it’s almost here! In just a few days I will be joining many from our church as we begin our “Journeys of Paul” trip! We’ll be traveling through Thessaloniki, Philippi, Athens, Ephesus, Corinth, and other locations along the way. Can’t wait to see the letters of Paul come to life through the Scriptures!⁣
⁣
Heads up: I’ll be posting daily recaps in the days ahead, so, follow along! Can’t wait to share the experience with you all!
  • Love having our kiddos in worship. Bonus when I get self portraits drawn and given to me. Bailey, this is on point. 😉🙌🏼
